A SONG LL that a man may pray, Have I not prayed to thee ?What were praise left to say,Has not been said by me,O ma mie ? Yet thine eyes and thine heart,Always were dumb to me : Only to be my part, Sorrow has come from thee,O ma mie ! Where shall I seek and hideMy grief away with me ? Lest my bitter tears should chide,Bring brief dismay to thee,O ma mie !. More than a man may prayHave I not prayed to thee? What were praise left to say,Has not been said by me,O ma mie f Ernest Dowson. .V •-1
